Pamela Anderson did not secure a Best Actress nomination at the 2025 Oscars for her dazzling performance in The Last Showgirl. But is she crying into a tub of ice cream over it? Nope. Sis is too busy thriving.
The 57-year-old legend has been racking up award noms left and right for her role, like she’s collecting loyalty points at Starbucks. Golden Globes? Check. SAG Awards? Oh, absolutely. But when the Oscars nominations dropped today (January 23), her name was suspiciously missing. Cue the dramatic gasps.
So, how’s Pamela taking the snub? Pretty chill, honestly. She spilled the tea to ELLE.com, and it was refreshingly unbothered.
“Oh my gosh, it’s not something I ever expected,” Pamela said, probably while flipping her iconic blonde hair. “Doing the work is the win.” Translation: Who needs a little gold statue when you’re already a whole icon?
She went on to say, “That’s what I like to do, and I think we can lose sight of that sometimes in this whole crazy awards season.” Basically, she just shaded the entire Oscars hype machine, but in the classiest way possible. “It’s nice to be recognized, and it’s all a bonus,” she added, sprinkling in some A-list wisdom.
Pamela also made it clear that she’s not losing sleep over this. “I couldn’t imagine [it] anyway,” she said with the energy of someone who knows she’s fabulous regardless. “I’m happy for the SAG nomination. That’s [voted on by] your peers. That’s really cool.”
And let’s not forget, this promo tour has been a marathon, not a sprint. “This has been a long road promoting this film,” she admitted, probably while thinking about how she deserves a nap and maybe a beach vacation.
Pamela Anderson might not have an Oscar nod, but she’s still living her best life. And honestly? That’s the real award.
